Swagger Inn: Thread 93 - Carry on wenching, Musketeers ahoy!

[SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp]

Doors open for Thread 93. The bar is stocked, the floor is mopped. Unleash the wenches....

Here's some pretty to get us started

Lovely honeymoon choice badders, I like Austria too - I think DS will like the food. I'll give him credit for that, he is very easy to feed

Oh, go on try them on!

I can't remember if I said this to anyone but does anyone else get exams nerves this time of year even though they graduated 12 years ago?

It's like Easter has finished, the weather improves and I feel this niggle still all these years on!! There were an awful lot with school and Uni but even being inside on a nice day reminds me of studying for them!!

Good luck to wenchagers with exams!!

Well perhaps you can do DS1's exam stressing for him then Lyndie We seem to be following the same pattern for GCSEs last year - do you remember me tearing my hair out? Well, that.

Maybe he'll pick up a pen in a fortnight or so, the night before the first AS-Level papers....

I don't get that lyndie, but I do sometimes get dreams about going into an exam that I haven't prepared for.

Commiserations sparks, does he appreciate the stress he puts you through?! DS has yr10 exams starting tomorrow. Will be interesting to see how he does as he usually underprepares and could do better. Teachers may not be so forgiving in yr10. Or he may ace them

I do that as well Fancy. Or am told I have to do an extra year at Uni and leaving my DC behind!!

After his GCSEs, I have no leg to stand on at all re revision nagging. I have told him A-Levels are a different kettle of fish - but it has so far fallen on deaf ears. And given his estimated grades, it would appear the X-Box is a very useful tool in the revision process

Tricky though Sparks. If he's like my DH then he's just naturally talented, good memory, why would he need to revise?

I remember going on an Easter holiday to a Scottish island and I wasn't allowed to go out during the day as I had to revise!! I got to go out in the evenings but spent the whole holiday at the kitchen table with my books!!

lyndie, that's worse than mine!

Let's hope it does prove effective for him then sparks. I'm just trying to have faith in his teachers to flag up any concerns, which is easier said than done.

The only thing my parents said to me when preparing for O levels was one comment from my dad : 'Your sister appeared to be doing more work at this stage than you'. I breezily assured him it was all under control and as my results were better than hers, they never said a word to me ever again on the subject of exams. I hope I can be that chilled.

WHY THE HELL AREN'T YOU GOING TO STOCKHOLM BADS!!!!!!!

Costume lady has confirmed Phoebe has left.

She's tweeted that Monday was one of the best days of her life

Bloody bra doesn't fit!
Grr.
Ordered a bigger one.
Ffs.
I am fatter than a fat thing on national fat day :(
Ww...its a boys only trip I'm afraid. maybe I need a mum only trip to Stockholm for myself?
Tooth kicking in now :( taken some paracetamol.
Ds2 is dropped off at gym
Ds1 home
I am upstairs mning.
Ds1 has told me he is starving
He had a cooked breakfast, didn't havs a snack at break due to bug queue, chicken wrap and shortbread and lunch and he is acting as if he hasn't eaten for days!

Yes Bads you need a mum only trip to Stockholm and visit ME. It would be amazeballs

I'm so much fatter than you btw

Hope the tooth gets better soon!

Hahahahaha - my M & S jeffings are on the MN Swears By email

Guten abends mes fuckeuresz!

Je have been talking like this for a while and I can't seem to get shot of it now.
Merci beaucoup pour les pm's, they meant a lot (les ) things are more settled ATM and am alone for a couple of days so yay.
Ds2 and dare making a cake. The words, 'does a cake need to cool before you put the icing on it?" Have not filled me with confidence.

Did I see correctly that we have fenchy lurkers who don't like our swearing?
Nawwwwwwwwww. Bless.

Oooooh, hang on.

What did you think? I am all about the thing with thingy who goes to that place with that person.

Hmmmmm now where was I re the swearing? Erm...
Oh yes....

Norah!!!

No, they aren't lurking. It's not on MN.

Yay norah!

So, I bought an aubergine, now what do I do with it?

Oh, well that's disappointing. Should I try twatting the musketeer six way? Although I haven't got a copy of it anymore...

baddddrrrreeeeerrrrrsssszzzzzzzz
I can't find a bra either. The ones in my size seem to forget that I don't need my bra to cut up under my arms anymore than other sizes do.
Ff seems quite tame though. But jealous tbh.

Off the top of my head ww

Make a curry

griddle it and throw it in a warm salad

fried auberguine and mozzarella sandwiches

Yummie, thanks Issy

Stuff them with rice etc.
Stuff them with mince etc.
Buy some natural yoghurt and just fry them and some onions.
AUBERGINES ARE MY FAVOURITE VEG EVER!!!

Yum Issy.

Norah, Je adored all ze French parlez.

Sparks and Apricot, I have just got our camping stuff out of the loft, ready for our first camping trip of the year. Weather predicts rain. What? For a bank holiday? Surely not!! Oh dear.
Apes you've already done your first camping trip of this year and thus the spring clean, haven't you?

Ooh Chaise where are you off to? We've checked our stuff and are thinking about a weekend soon but not in bad weather!! Are you camping or caravanning?
